AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Cassette player

쐌 To maintain good quality sound,

NISSAN recommends using cassette

tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length.

쐌 Cassette tapes should be removed from

the player when not in use. Store cas-

settes in their protective cases and

away from direct sunlight, heat, dust,

moisture and magnetic sources.

쐌 Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to

become deformed. The use of deformed

cassettes may cause the cassette to jam

in the player.

쐌 Do not use cassettes with labels which

are peeling and loose. If used, the label

could jam in the player.

쐌 If a cassette has loose tape, insert a

pencil through one of the cassette hubs

and rewind the tape firmly around the

hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam-

ming and wavering sound quality.

쐌 Over a period of time, the playback

head, capstan and pinch roller may col-

lect a tape coating residue as the tape is

played. This residue accumulation can

cause weak or wavering sound, and

should be removed periodically with a

head cleaning tape. If the residue is not

removed periodically, the player may

need to be disassembled for cleaning.

Compact Disc (CD) player

쐌 Only use high quality 12 cm (4.7 inches)

round discs that have the “COMPACT

disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or

packaging.

쐌 During cold weather or rainy days, the

player may malfunction due to the hu-

midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and

dehumidify or ventilate the player com-

pletely.

쐌 The player may skip while driving on

rough roads.

쐌 The CD player sometimes cannot func-

tion when the compartment tempera-

ture is extremely high. Decrease the

temperature before use.

쐌 Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.

쐌 CDs that are of poor quality, dirty,

scratched, covered with fingerprints, or

that have pin holes may not work prop-

erly.

쐌 The following CDs may not work prop-

erly:

• Copy control compact discs (CCCD)

• Recordable compact discs (CD-R)

• Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)

쐌 Do not use the following CDs as they

may cause the CD player to malfunction.

• 8 cm (3.1 in) discs with an adapter

• CDs that are not round

• CDs with a paper label

• CDs that are warped, scratched, or

have abnormal edges

ANTENNA

Radio reception

Radio reception is affected by station signal

strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-

ings, bridges, mountains and other external in-

fluences. Intermittent changes in reception qual-

ity normally are caused by these external

influences.

Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-

hicle may influence radio reception quality.

Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-

art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep-

tion. These circuits are designed to extend re-

ception range, and to enhance the quality of that

reception.

However there are some general characteristics

of FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio

reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when

the finest equipment is used. These character-

istics are completely normal in a given reception

area, and do not indicate any malfunction in your

radio system.

Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal

place to listen to a radio. Because of the move-

ment, reception conditions will constantly

change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and

interference from other vehicles can work

against ideal reception. Described below are

some of the factors that can affect your radio

reception.

FM radio reception :

Range: FM range is normally limited to 40 to 48

km (25 to 30 miles), with monaural (single

channel) FM having slightly more range than

stereo FM. External influences may sometimes

interfere with FM station reception even if the FM

station is within 40 km (25 miles). The strength

of the FM signal is directly related to the distance

between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals

follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the

same characteristics as light. For example they

will reflect off objects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade

and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from

buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,

usually in conjunction with increased distance

from the station transmitter, static or flutter can

be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the

treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble

response.

Multipath reception: Because of the reflective

characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-

flected signals reach the receiver at the same

time. The signals may cancel each other, result-

ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.

AM radio reception :

AM signals, because of their low frequency, can

bend around objects and skip along the ground.

In addition, the signals can be bounced off the

ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of

these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-

ject to interference as they travel from transmitter

to receiver.

Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing

through freeway underpasses or in areas with

many tall buildings. It can also occur for several

seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in

areas where no obstacles exist.

Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.

Placing the antenna

You can adjust the antenna to three different

positions manually.

Removing the antenna

You can remove the antenna if necessary.

Hold the bottom of the antenna and remove by

turning counterclockwise.

CAUTION

쐌 Be sure that antenna is removed be-

fore the vehicle enters an automatic

car wash.

쐌 Be sure to fold down the antenna

before the vehicle enters a garage

with a low ceiling.
